VARG Announce New Album, “Live at Wolfszeit Festival 2024”, Out May 22nd 2026!

VARG gather their followers around them and call for a joint ritual: on May 22, 2026, the pagan metal band will share the recording of a special evening with their first live album, Live at Wolfszeit Festival 2024. Recorded at the group’s very own festival, it contains thrilling live versions of 16 tracks. Live at Wolfszeit Festival 2024 invites you to be part of the home match both as an audio and a video recording in Blu-ray format. Filmed with 13 cameras, this live experience unfolds particularly well-rounded, from instrument details to the enthusiastic crowd.

Along with the announcement of the epic recording, VARG release their first single. “Immer Treu” was originally released on their most recent studio album, Ewige Wacht (2023), which secured the band their biggest chart success to date. With this song, VARG show their closeness to their fans and cement their connection to the scene—after all, the band has been at the forefront of German pagan metal for years. The new version of “Immer Treu” shows VARG at the peak of their creative powers, with clear production, a rousing show, and an unbroken spirit.

On their new album, VARG conduct a campaign through their discography. It begins with “Aufzug der Heere” and “Schildfront”, which were first released in 2008 on the split EP Schildfront with Minas Morgul, and leads to “Ewige Wacht”, the title track of their latest album which was released in 2023 and is their biggest chart success to date. The visually stunning atmosphere of the evening flares up in a fiery production, impressively directed by frontman Freki. Light installations pierce the darkness and amplify the ritualistic power of the show. VARG remain “Immer Treu” (engl: Always Faithful; Ewige Wacht, 2023) to their fans, who respond with enthusiastic cheers—the band’s energetic songs and devoted performance make this particularly rousing. The crystal-clear production of the live spectacle is also reflected in “Morgenrot” on which Freki’s growls and singer Fylgja harmonize particularly beautifully—the latter is also honored with the rare live gem “Fylgja” (both also Ewige Wacht, 2023). “Blutaar”, the title track of the German band’s second album released in 2010, on the other hand, strikes a harder tone, bathed in deep red light. After the ominous thematic classification, the frontman screams his head off in his usual brutal manner, fueled by drums and cheers, and spreads his wings in a similarly intimidating manner as in the Viking custom he sings about—albeit less bloody. Furthermore, the fans join VARG for “Schwertzeit” (engl. Sword Time) and “Jagd” (engl. Hunt), and declare: “Wir sind die Wölfe” (engl. We Are The Wolves) (all Wolfskult, 2011).
